It's a pantomime type of hate obviously, but yeah of course 'hate' as they are our biggest rival and doubt that will change

Proper hate Palace fans, me
Would I punch one in the back of the head for it? No
Would I chuck one a rope if he was drowning? Yes

I don't know about hate but I certainly find it very easy NOT to like them.
The administrations, the cladding, the crumbling stadium, the shitty eagle mascot, the unattainable dream of owning that South London football market they aspire to, the succession of dickhead managers.

No hate whatsoever.....pity yes.

If you're a Brighton and Hove Albion fan, you should loathe them.
I was there on 13/05/2013 too... never gonna forget that.
Hope we can get one back on them when we play them on the 28/11/17
Up the Albion!

Hate - But only when we're playing them.
I couldn't give a monkeys otherwise.

I'm somewhere between 'About as much' and 'No, it's nonsense'.
There are teams I don't like more than Palace. Leeds, Reading and Boro specifically. Palace are just, well, Palace. I like to see them lose but mostly because my in-laws are all Palace and it gives me something to talk to them about.

Genuine footy rivalry is great.
With Palarse it's the same, they just exist that's all.
Have a work colleague who's a Palarse fan, plenty of banter, couldn't do without it.

Yes, but in a completely pantomime way, so there isn't really an option in your poll. Proper hate - of course not
This.
As others have said, it's a pantomime hate. I've got good mates who support Man United and even Palace.
I despise their shitty clubs and want them to lose every game (Palace when they play each other obvs). But it's not "hate" in any real sense of the word. It's part of what makes football so good.

Your support is not that great
Tend to agree with this. I also genuinely dislike the kit, in whatever form it's reinvented. And that horrrendous font that the so-called ultras like to use in their crappy banners.

I feel slightly sorry for them as a club that's always struggling to find a real identity and has an obvious inferiority complex.
In the early 1970s, before we became rivals, they were a plucky little club trying their best to hang on to their newly-won first division status and I quite liked them. Then Malcolm Allison came along with all that Eagles nonsense - are eagles indigenous to the Croydon area? their previous nickname of 'Glaziers' made far more sense - and changed their kit to a poor man's Barcelona and they became something else. And I don't think anyone really knew what it was.
Pardew was actually the perfect manager for them (and, coincidentally, once worked as a glazier) because he understood more about their South London roots than most. It was a shame from his and their point of view that he couldn't make them win home games. But highly amusing for us, of course.
I enjoyed us putting the final nail in their relegation at Selhurst in 1981, and I thought them advertising for new rivals when we were in the fourth tier was genuinely funny. Both sides understand that we'd miss each other if either club disappeared - which has been on the cards at times.
The annual REMF match probably sums it up best. It wouldn't be the same if we played the fans of Stains or the #twats. Both teams want to beat the other, but it's not the be-all and end-all. Or shouldn't be.

I hate Palace - on a level with mosquitoes and ticks.
Do you hate Palace
I like to think of myself as a rational guy in his mid 50's. Namely I like to think I am respectful and that I value that we are all have differences, be it age, sexuality etc etc.
But where CPFC are concerned all that rational thought goes out of the window, I detest them and everything they stand for .

Yeah, same. Leeds and Boro for me too actually, plus the two main Glasgow clubs. Villa too.

Any 'hate' is inherited. It's not born out of any sense of injustice or experience for most.
They are simply pantomime villains. A rivalry that adds an edge and makes thing fun.I want to see them lose every match but wish their supporters no ill or harm. They are, dare I say it, a proper traditional football club.
There are a few who seem to genuinely hate them. Some of those seem to spend a lot of time hating other things as well. Seems to be a pattern of irrational resentment where they are concerned. If they supported Portsmouth it would be re-directed to Southampton.

That's the one!
I think us older fans who were around in the 70s/80s probably have far stronger feelings on the matter than the younger generation and the JCLs.
Agreed. It is a crap poll. Only an idiot would tick option 2, which basically says 'I am a brainless sheep'.
Personally I would take 2 defeats to them this sason if we nevertheless finish above them in the league.
